العربية Cyber warfare and sabotage, numerous assassinations of Iranian scientists, constant threats of the use of force in violation of international law (and of the United States Constitution).
Evidently, all this is considered a particularly serious problem. There is a way to remedy it: the establishment of a Nuclear Weapons-Free Zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East, subject to inspections, which can work very well. This would resolve the alleged problem of Iranian nuclear programs, putting an end to the grave threat of war. So what is the obstacle?
Not the Arab states, which for decades have actively called for all this. Certainly not Iran, which supports the measure. Not the Global South—the G-77, 134 "developing countries," that is, most of the world—which strongly supports it. Nor Europe, which has raised no objections.

The obstacle is represented by the usual two dissenting voices: the United States and Israel. The pretexts put forward are varied, but we can ignore them. The reasons, instead, are well known: the United States does not want to allow Israel's enormous nuclear arsenal, the only one in the region, to be subjected to international inspections.
In reality, the United States does not officially acknowledge that Israel possesses nuclear weapons, even though, obviously, there is no doubt about it. The reason presumably lies in the fact that admitting it would invoke U.S. law, which would most likely render the massive flow of American aid to the Jewish state illegal, a can of worms few are willing to open. In fact, outside the circles that control armaments, in the United States this is a topic that cannot be discussed.
